FISHING Boating and Water Safety

FISHING Float TripsANGLERS ALERTSpread of Unwanted OrganismsMoving live fish or other aquatic animals and plants from one body of water to another can cause long-term damage to the ecological stability of lakes and streams and can threaten recreational fishing. Please take these precautions to prevent problems.

• Do not move fish from one body of water to another• Drain live wells thoroughly before leaving an access area• Do not release live baitfish or aquarium fish into

West Virginia’s waters• Remove all visible plants and animals from your boat,

motor, trailer, nets and all fishing gear before leaving an access area

Fishing and Boating Access SitesPublic boating and fishing access facilities shall be used solely for the purpose of launching and retrieving watercraft or fishing from the shore. No other use of the access sites is allowed.

After launching, vehicles shall be parked in available parking spaces.

Any law enforcement officer acting under proper authority may prohibit an individual from launching a watercraft from any public boating and fishing access site.

The following are prohibited at fishing and boating access sites:• Consumption of alcoholic beverages or possession of an

open container of alcoholic beverages• Swimming or bathing• Camping• Open fires• Trash disposal except where trash receptacles

are provided• Discharge of firearms, fireworks or explosives• Leaving unattended watercraft• Commercial use except as authorized by the director• Parking of any vehicle or the mooring of any watercraft

in such a manner as to obstruct any avenue of ingress or egress, except for the purpose of launching

Boating Education RequirementAnyone born after December 31, 1986, must successfully complete an approved boating education course before operating a motorboat. The course is available on the DNR website. Click on boating under the Law Enforcement heading.

Wear Your Life JacketPersonal flotation devices are not just for wearing in boats and not just for those who can’t swim. Make sure the PFD is in good condition and fits properly. Youth under 12 years old must wear a PFD if they are on deck while a motorboat is moving.

WadingThere are several rules you should follow for safe wading.

• Wade with a fishing buddy• Wear your PFD• Find out whether the bottom is rocky or muddy• Shuffle your feet or probe with a stick along the bottom to

avoid holes• Study how swiftly the water is moving• Wear appropriate foot wear (considering water

temperature and bottom substrate)

Person in WaterReach-Throw-Row-Go is a method of rescuing a person who is in trouble in water.

If the person is close to you, REACH out with a long object such as an oar or tree limb to pull the person into shore or the boat.

If you can’t reach the person, then THROW them a life-saving device. If possible, it should be tied to the end of a line so you can pull the person to you. An inflatable ball or foam cooler can be used if the proper device is not available.

If there is nothing to throw, ROW a boat to the person in trouble. The person should be pulled in over the stern, or back, of the boat if possible to prevent the boat from tipping over. If the boat has a motor, it must be shut off before you get to the person in the water.

GO (swim) to the person only as a last resort and only if you have had life-saving training. People who are drowning often panic and injure or drown someone trying to rescue them.

Fishing in Cold WeatherHypothermia is a life-threatening condition in which your body loses heat faster than it can produce it. A common misconception is that the air or water temperature must be below freezing before you can become hypothermic. Any water colder than 70 degrees can cause hypothermia. Symptoms include uncontrollable shivering, fumbling hands, slow speech, confusion and exhaustion. In the case of an emergency, get the victim out of the cold, give them warm drinks, keep them awake, remove all wet clothing and get them into dry clothes.

To stay warm, wear several layers of clothing. Air trapped between the layers serves as insulation. A wool hat prevents heat loss from your head. Fishing is difficult with most gloves, but lightweight rubber gloves, gloves without fingertips and gloves that have a flap to expose your fingers allow greater manual dexterity.

Money used to buy and develop stream and lake access sites comes from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses,

including the conservation stamp. Federal funds used for these projects come from taxes paid by anglers

when they buy fishing equipment or gasoline for their boats in compliance with the Sport Fish Restoration Act.

It is the policy of the Division of Natural Resources to provide its facilities, services and programs to all persons without regard to sex, race, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, disability or other protected group status. 10M 10/18

Landowner – Angler RelationsWest Virginia anglers are indebted to local landowners throughout the state. Without their consent and generosity, fishing would be restricted to state and federal lands. The opportunity for continued use of private property is largely dependent upon anglers’ attitudes and conduct. Most stream closures are the result of disrespect for private property. Do not leave fishing line, bait containers or other trash.

Stream Litter LawIt is illegal to throw litter, a fish or animal carcass, or other unsightly matter into a water body or on land within 100 yards of water, or in a location where high water would wash the matter into a water body.

For more informationSee the West Virginia Fishing Regulations booklet for:

• Reciprocal fishing agreement on Ohio River• Fish consumption advisories• Sport fish identification
